Joshua Jackson, fresh off 'The Affair' and appearing in this month's 'When They See Us' on Netflix has signed on to the Hulu adaptation of Celeste Ng's bestseller 'Little Fires Everywhere.' He will play the husband to Reese Witherspoon's Elena. Kerry Washington also will star.

The Witherspoon/Washington executive-produced drama will be an eight-episode limited series about two families amid a custody battle. The series will explore "the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the ferocious pull of motherhood — and the danger in believing that following the rules can avert disaster."

The defense lawyer dad broke my heart in the book. I wonder who will be cast for that role.

Ugh at Reese's involvement, although the character is painfully on brand. I expect we'll see a lot of discussion about interracial adoption, which should be interesting in the current climate where we have black and brown children being stolen and given to white families.

same here! [mild spoiler]i was bittersweet towards izzy and her mom at the end. especially when her mom was crying for her and realizing that she had more in common with her daughter than she would ever admit. :(

I love Josh but yeah I'll pass. I hated that fucking book with a passion and I swear I hated every damn character in it. And I hated all the annoying reviewers that gave it high marks that led to my reading it in the first place and not being able to get the time I wasted doing so, back.
